RETAIL PRICES ARE TO BE SEEN AFTER Food Administration Will Do All It Can to Aid Consumer to Get Beneit, of Low Prices to the Itetailer. Washington, Oct. 18.-FPood admin istrator Hoover gave notice to the public tonight that "the corner has been turned" in high food prices and that most of the' essential conmiodi ties should continue to show reduc tion bettween now and the end of the year. At the sanme time he pointed out that retail prices are not. going down in accord with wholesale re ductions, and intimated that the consumer herself might correct this by bringing proper measures to lear. To aid the public in dealing with retailers who continue to exhort war proflts, the food adiniiistration now is collecting wholesale prices of all staples In 700 cities and soon will be gin publishing them weekly for com parison with retail figures. Wit hout further authority from congress Mr. Hoover said thie govern ment is powerless to control retailers except those doing a business of more than $100,000 a year. le did not care to discuss the question of whether congress would be asked to extend his authority saying he want ed to give the retailers a chance first. As an Illustration of how the price to the consumer is keeping ill), a statement issued by the adninistra tor said beef now is selling in Cil eago at 1.1 1-2 cents a poumnds, com pared with 16 cents in July, while the average retail price of round steak now is 31 cents compare(d with 27 cents in July. The millers' price for first patnt flour In .Ju te bags range from $10 to $10.70, but the av erage retail price is $13.77, or, the ad ministrator says from $1.50 to $2 more than the wholesale figure warrants. Sugair should sell from S to 8 1-2 cents a pound inl spite of the present tem porary shortage, as the wholesale filgures have not advanced. Now that it is all over, .\r. li'Over said, it limay be admitted that in Sep temhiber the countiry faced a serious shortage of flour and New York City at one time was down to a 3t6 hotir sipplly. Virtually the same (,on dition ievailed in Philadelhiiii and ohir conistimoing centers. Not iee was given at tlie food ad minh ; tiot that all dealers in food stuffs requirgd by law to take ouit federal licenses after November I slold miake requisition at once for applicat ion forms , without further word from the authorities.
